the appaloosa.


in (mostly) pictures, of course!

the appaloosa was an AMAZING place in denver. to me, it was the highlight of my eating adventures in denver, and i would be happy to recommend it to anyone passing through, visiting, or who has a drivers licence in denver.

d eats:
-manchego fondue (spinach, roasted red pepper, tomato, toasted bread): hot, creamy, cheesy, & delicious. just what was needed after a day of drinking in the hot sun... then in the rain.








-truffle garlic fries (herbs, garlic, truffle oil, sea salt, grated parmesan, pepper aioli... oh, and fries): these... were... unbelievable. i say 'were' because we gobbled them up super quick. the pepper aioli was key to these rich fries. oh god, i'm drooling...













-fish & chips (fried/breaded cod, tartar sauce, lemon): i am a sucker for fish & chips. i tend not the order it because i try to not be fat (doesn't always work). luckily sister ordered it. this is one of the best fish and chips i've had. while the fish was battered and fried, the batter didn't outweigh or outshine the fish. it was a perfect, light balance, and it was HUGE hit at our table.





-falafel (falafel, toasted pita, greens, lemon tahini, tomato, cucumber, hummus, feta): i love greek, and i looooooved this. there is nothing better than fresh, made-from-scratch greek food, and this took the falafel. best i've had. without a doubt.






-beer & cocktails: purely gratuitous and always loved.
